More about the book
The book explores the 16th and 17th-century attack on poetry and theater in England, framing it as part of a broader cultural shift away from medieval traditions. Professor Fraser argues that this "war against poetry" reflects significant changes in societal values and artistic expression during the transition to the modern world. Through scholarly investigation, the text delves into the implications of this cultural movement and its impact on the arts.
